The inspiration for this classic wedding styled shoot was the Rococo era. A style of the aristocracy, Rococo emerged as a continuation of the Baroque style. In contrast to the heavier themes and darker colours of Baroque, the Rococo style was characterised by an opulence, elegance, grace, playfulness and lightness.

The focus of our styled shoot was lighthearted and romantic so a feel of affluence, style and grace was created. We wanted to design something different, something new, using interesting natural materials and elements to create textures, movement, colour and style in keeping with the characteristics of the Rococo era. Details such as music scrolls and musical instruments used on the table added to the shoot. A romantic atmosphere was set by the use of candles decorated with music sheets, veiling, ribbon and lace.

Wow! I love love love this shoot, so gracefuland artfully put together by the team and many, many beautiful ideas! Thank you so much for sharing with the WTW blog. Oh, and the table styling… I HEART the pretty tulle draped over the table setting!! Delicious :))
